This exciting International Medical and Dental Program provides an experience
that combines the best of four worlds:

• cultural immersion

• high-quality didactic teaching

• clinical opportunity, and

• Spanish language practice.

The base of operations is Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, where we serve
approximately 10,000 indigenous and poverty-stricken inhabitants on the North
shore of the magnificently beautiful Lake Atitlán.

The daily schedule allows time for didactic teaching, clinical practice, and
medical and dental health promotion in and outside of the Clinic.
